I'm closing this section, as I have done lately for entries featuring Randy's videos, with a video of the original being parodied, The English National Opera's Major-General's Song from The Pirates of Penzance - live and with lyrics!.
The tongue-twisting I Am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General, performed live during Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, directed by Mike Leigh at English National Opera.Randy could have been more pompous, but he has Pervert Hoover for that.
Andrew Shore plays Major General-Stanley, with Joshua Bloom as Pirate King and Claudia Boyle as Mabel in this ENO production by film director Mike Leigh.
About The Pirates of Penzance:
With sentimental pirates, blundering policeman, absurd adventures and improbable paradoxes, The Pirates of Penzance is Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular comic opera.
A swashbuckling farce of brilliant humour and razor-sharp wit, it's chock-full of memorable melodies, including the famous tongue-twisting patter song from the Major-General.
This production was directed by directed by BAFTA-award winner Mike Leigh, who makes his operatic debut.
Randy isn't the only one revisiting the past. My readers gave enough page views to three posts from the 2016 election that they joined the most read entries of the 15th year of Crazy Eddie's Motie News. Follow over the jump for their stories.

I'm crediting web search for the 596 raw page views Drinks and drinking games for Donald Trump and the GOP debates from August 2, 2015 earned between March 21, 2025 and March 20, 2026, which ranked it 51st overall for the blogging year.

Web search also contributed to Kunstler said Americans would elect maniacs from November 9, 2016 earning 446 raw page views, placing it 80th overall during the blogging year.

Again, web searched helped Trump combs in second in New Hampshire poll; hilarity ensues from June 25, 2015 accrue 421 raw page views during the blogging year, ranking it 87th overall for the 15th year of the blog.
I think I have two more retrospectives of the blogging year that ended on March 20, 2026 remaining, so stay tuned for them on Throwback Thursday and Flashback Friday. In the meantime, enjoy Wednesday Addams, the mascot for Wayback Wednesday.
